I think saying no shorts all together is overkill.
I mean, not all shorts are hoochie shorts, you can find some decent sized ones, especially since "midi" is super in right now.

I just got these the other day and there is NO hanging out of them, they have a decent length, I think this would be pretty conservative enough.

Yeah, I don't know anyone (even people who wear shorter shorts) who would call those conservative.

Seriously all shorts?
Even decent length shorts?
I've said before that we always cover our knees. Let's see, I used to live where it was routinely above 105 all summer and had no problems. In fact, covering more skin with loose clothing often makes one cooler due to the fact that the sun is not beating down on the skin.

The difference would be negligible though since you are talking about maybe 2-3 inches of material.

What's wrong with knees?
Those sexy like shoulders or something?

This is the kind of stuff that baffles me....
Why cover knees? What about them needs to be covered?
What's wrong with bermuda shorts that come to right above the knee, that way you aren't ruling out shorts all together and girls won't have just capris to wear.

Shorts with a 4" inseam are NOT conservative.

4 inches is pretty long, no butt cheeks hanging out, the upper part of the thigh covered.
